Valeri Nichushkin - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Set for further evaluation Nichushkin sustained a lower-body injury Tuesday versus the Ducks and will be evaluated further Wednesday, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports.

Impact Nichushkin picked up an assist in 12:57 of ice time prior to his exit. The 30-year-old winger can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. The Avalanche's next game is Thursday versus the Sabres. If Nichushkin misses time, the Avalanche will likely need to make a roster move, while Victor Olofsson, Gavin Brindley or Gabriel Landeskog could gain extra ice time.

Generates two assists in win Nichushkin earned two assists, including one on the power play, and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact This was Nichushkin's first multi-point effort since his two-goal game versus the Hurricanes on Oct. 23. The 30-year-old winger is up to 11 points (three on the power play) with 40 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-2 rating over 16 appearances. He remains in a second-line role, and while he's seeing ample power-play time, he hasn't been able to get as involved in that situation as Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar or Martin Necas.

The 30-year-old is up to five goals on the season after putting home another one during Sunday's game. Along with his two assists, the winger has seven points through the first 10 games of the year. Playing a top-six role among a loaded Avalanche forward group, the ingredients are certainly there for Nichushkin to continue scoring at a high level.

Gets first point of season Nichushkin logged an assist and a plus-1 rating in Monday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact It took four games, but Nichushkin finally got on the scoresheet Monday, setting up Cale Makar's first goal of the campaign early in the middle frame. The 30-year-old Nichushkin is skating in a top-six role while working with the No. 2 power-play unit to start the year, so he should eventually pick up steam on offense on a high-flying Colorado squad.

Registers helper in Game 7 loss Nichushkin notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

Impact Nichushkin helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally early in the third period. Over seven playoff contests, Nichushkin had three goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, 20 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 30-year-old winger put up 34 points in 43 regular-season outings in 2024-25. Between injuries and suspensions, he hasn't played in more than 65 games in any of the last seven years, but when healthy, he's an excellent complementary forward who figures to be part of Colorado's core for the better part of the rest of the decade.
